To order the Edge 305, visit shops in Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane, or simply phone 1800 477477, and talk to a real person who uses and understands GPS, and can help with any questions. Or use our "add to cart" on-line facility. The Garmin Edge 205 model is also available.

 

With its waterproof, sleek design, the Edge is the perfect companion on any bike, and attaches to either the stem or handlebars. Its rugged case frames an easy-to-read, large, backlit display that can show up to eight different data fields along with altitude and a map view. The Edge 305 makes sense for recreational cyclists as well as athletes, because of its ability to assist with trip planning and navigation (how far, trip computer etc).

The Edge 305HR with heart rate lets you see whether you are training too hard or not enough. The heart rate monitor uses a robust ANT wireless technology that eliminates cross-talk and interference to reliably measure and send heart rate data to the Edge via a soft, comfortable chest strap. This data is stored with each track point for post-workout analysis.

The Edge 305HC with heart rate and cadence, includes a self-calibrating, wireless speed/cadence sensor so you can monitor your pedaling cadence as you ride. Like the heart rate monitor, the speed/cadence sensor uses the same robust ANT wireless technology to reliably measure and report your pedaling strokes per minute to the Edge.

A very sensitive GPS- works in extremely covered situations or inside a vehicle. The Edge 305 series (2 models) is designed for monitoring and recording cycling performances. Great for trainer and athlete.

For training, touring or recreational cycling, the lightweight Edge 305 is a true fitness and performance partner. It measures speed, distance travelled, heart-rate, calories, and compares course times with your personal history. One model also contains a cadence register. Either comes with a clamp for your bike, so it's easy to see the screen for directions to go, and how far you've gone.

Each Edge 305 model incorporates a barometric altimeter for extremely accurate elevation and vertical profile data. The Edge 305HR is available with a heart rate monitor. The Edge 305HC combines a heart rate monitor and a wireless speed/pedaling cadence sensor to help you achieve your personal best.

Edge 305 series features include:

Easy-to-install—no calibration required. Just snap it in the included bike mount and go
High-sensitivity GPS receiver—knows your position even in tree cover and urban or natural canyons, making it extremely reliable for navigation.
Highly efficient ANT wireless protocol provides superior battery life and reliably transfers your performance data (heart rate and cadence) to the Edge 305.
Customizable cycle computer—shows up to eight different data fields for continuous feedback
Virtual Partner™—lets you "race" a virtual competitor, making training fun
Courses—lets you "race" against a recorded course to try to match previously set speeds at every point along the way
Auto Pause™—pauses the training timer when you slow down below a specified speed and resumes when you speed up again so you can focus on your ride
Auto Lap ™—automatically triggers a lap every time you pass a specified location or travel a preset distance

Training Center software for PC—gives you the ability to create workouts, manage and download courses, and create a detailed post-ride analysis that charts your performance. You can overlay your ride data onto a course map. It offers interactive analysis tools that measure your speed, distance, climb, and descent against varying terrain and elevations.
